2Authored explanation
Heinlein, Kiermaier, Kurz, and Wassermann give 333 three-dimensional subspaces of F₂⁷ with minimum subspace distance 4. The whole space has distance 4 from every three-space, so adjoining it gives 334 mixed-dimension codewords. Heinlein and Ihringer prove the upper bound 388 by semidefinite programming. The current online subspace-code table still displays 334–388 for these parameters. A dated search on 2026-07-28 found no later primary result that closes either side of the interval.
